HELP!!! Possible Eggbound...ness

restlesswind444 Jun 27, 2004 01:30 PM

3 of my females took part in their first breeding season this year. Everything went well and i got almost all fertile eggs, and never had a female lay a clutch of only 1 egg. I then put the 3 breeder females together once they stopped laying. I went to mist the humid hide today and i found 1 infertile egg in there. The egg had been there for a day or two and was not freshly laid, and was definitely infertile. Could this mean that my girl is eggbound if she only laid 1 egg? Whats worse, I'm not sure who laid it.

Any input would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Chris

It happens, I have one female that layed 7 clutches this season and the last clutch was only one egg. I hade one last year that layed two single egg clutches.

You can always check out their stomachs to see if you see any, but I wouldn't worry too much as long as everyone is eating and their weights are good. Now if someone is acting strange you may want to look farther into it.
